Teaching and Research Interests

I have research and teaching interests in groundwater hydrology and borehole geophysics.  In addition to my academic experience, I have served on regulatory review teams, consulted on water supply and contamination problems in fractured rock environments, and have provided expert opinion to state agencies and private companies. 

Courses I Teach

Hydrogeology (GEOL 127). 
Advanced Hydrogeology (GEOL 227)
Applied Geophysics (GEOL 218)
Groundwater Modeling (GEOL 208)
Earth Science (GEOL 8)

Natural Disasters (GEOL 7)

Workshops I Teach

Fractured Rock Hydrology
Groundwater Modeling

Introduction to Contaminant Transport by Groundwater
